Loki writer Michael Waldron promises viewers that the Disney + series will answer questions about how time travel worked in Avengers: Endgame.
Loki Author Michael Waldron announced in a new interview that the Disney + series will answer a number of questions about the rewritten timeline presented in Avengers: Endgame.
“It’s like Endgame laid the foundation what time trips are in the MCU, “Waldron said Collider when asked how the latest Marvel series deals with the rules of time travel. He added, “It was our job to take that further and find out, ‘All right, how does this work? How does it look? Is it time travel magic? Is it scientific? Is it engineered, is it poured?'”
Waldron added that asking and defining time travel questions was crucial for the Loki writing team as they wrote each episode, saying, “I think that’s fun about this [Time Variance Authority] it’s something remarkable, like time travel, and really wraps it up in a very soulless, kind of bureaucratic way. That was the exciting thing for me as a writer, to take something so magical and just make it completely soulless. “
Waldron touched how difficult it was to keep track of things Marvel timelines, explains, “Everywhere in our writer’s room, our whiteboards were covered only with timelines. And it just says: ‘No, time travel works like this,’ No, time travel works like this. ‘ That was the big challenge of our show because the [TVA] is an organization that literally manages and guidelines all along, we had to define what time is for them and what time is in the MCU. How does it move What is time travel? How does it work?”
The Loki Writers’ Room had to define what a broken law of time was within the world of Loki and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole. He concluded, “We have six episodes. People will have a week between each of these things to take them apart. We need to get this as tight as possible so that it can withstand a week of testing each episode. ‘”
Loki plays Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Owen Wilson as Mobius M. Mobius, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Ravonna Lexus Renslayer, Wunmi Mosaku as Hunter B-15 and Sophia Di Martino, Richard E. Grant, Sasha Lane and Eugene Cordero. Episode 1 of Loki is now available on Disney +.
